輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第168期:我會一直支持你
I will back you up all the way.
我會一直支持你。
back sb. up 直譯過來就是：“用背扛起某人”，很容易聯(lián)想到這個短語的正確意思：“支持某人”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"I will back you up all the way."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I will always stand by your side."、"I will always be there for you."。
情景對白：
Benjamin: I'm not on the layoff list. And my boss plans to send me to Paris for further training for about a month. Honey, do you think I should go?
本杰明：我不在裁員名單之列，而且老板打算送我去巴黎深造一個月。親愛的，你覺得我應(yīng)該去嗎?
Shirley: Of course you should go. Just do whatever you want. I will back you up all the way.
雪莉：當(dāng)然應(yīng)該去啊!想做什么就放開了做!我會一直支持你的。
搭配句積累：
①Will you back me up if I give up this opportunity?
如果我放棄這次機會，你會支持我嗎?
②Choose what you like and love what you choose.
選你所愛，愛你所選。
③You don't have to worry about me.
你不必擔(dān)心我。
④We're a team!
我們是一個團隊!
單詞：
1. stand by 支持

無論如何，我都支持你。
He had the guts to stand by his friend when he was in trouble.
當(dāng)他處在困境的時候，他仍有勇氣支持他的朋友。
